History
University of Chicago Emergency Medicine Residency is one of the country’s oldest training programs in emergency medicine. Program alumni have distinguished themselves by achieving leadership roles in the academic, teaching, political, and practice arenas of emergency medicine.
Its university-based program is unique in that it is comprised of three level one trauma centers located in distinctly different socio-demographic settings. This insures its residents an incredibly diverse, comprehensive clinical training experience in a three year training format.
It trains emergency medicine physicians who render competent, compassionate patient care and who contribute to the specialty of emergency medicine and the community through leadership in health care, education, and the creation of knowledge.
The Program is committed to the well-being of patients and their community. Residents develop clinical competency by caring for diverse patient populations in university, community and urban health care settings. They have the opportunity to pursue interests in clinical and didactic teaching, administration, professional societies, public health, health disparities, international health, aeromedical transport, EMS, and clinical and basic science resuscitation research in a strong academic setting. Its graduates value and promote intellectual curiosity, teaching, the advancement of knowledge, scholarship, communication and leadership skills, cultural diversity, service to others, camaraderie, personal growth and wellness.
